............ Tutored at a young age by no less than guitar whiz Les Paul and blues legend T-Bone Walker, Steve Miller's life seemed destined to be dominated by music. Still, Miller's evolution from 1960s white-boy Chicago blues journeyman to '70s Top 40 hit machine was meteoric. ...................................
Building on the success of his mainstream breakthrough The Joker, Miller's mastery of the indelibly catchy pop song yielded not only the radio-staple title track (since successfully revived by Seal), but an almost embarrassing wealth of other deceptively simple, hook-laden songs (including the standout "Wild Mountain Honey" as well as the hit singles "Take the Money and Run" and "Rock'n Me") to make FLY LIKE AN EAGLE play more like a greatest hits album than a standard collection of songs. This is Miller at his '76 pop-perfectionist peak, and one of the decade's most enduring surprises.

ALBUM NOTES: ...............
Personnel: Steve Miller (vocals, guitar, sitar, Roland organ); Lonnie Turner (bass); Gary Mallaber (drums, percussion).
Additional personnel: Curley Cooke (guitar); Les Dudek (slide guitar); Kenny Johnson (drums).
Recorded at C.B.S. Studios, San Francisco, California.
Miller forsook his love of the blues for this and its sister project Book Of Dreams. In turning to mainstream pop/rock he became a huge star and developed the knack of delivering high-quality three-minute songs that were perfect for FM radio. The album is linked by Miller's fascination with electronic sounds, sandwiched between the irresistible title track, the Bonnie and Clyde tale of 'Take The Money And Run', the irritatingly simple 'Rock 'n' Me' and the subdued 'The Window', with its quirky lyric 'ask my baby what she wants to be, she says a monkey in a tree'. His baby replies 'there's nothing greater than love', true enough. After all, it was Miller who rhymed 'northern California' with 'girls are warm yeah'.

The until-recently-defunct "Mobile Fidelity Labs" audiophile album vinyl pressings were not only analogue, audiophile masterpieces and connoisseur delights, they have become true pieces of audio history and lore. These majestic recordings received a meticulous and laborious treatment like no other recordings in the entire history of the recorded sound. They are characterized by the massively extended dynamic and frequency range, mastering from the very first generation of original master tapes, almost compulsive attention paid to the detail and integrity of the pressing, and the highest quality of the material (only the "virgin-", audiophile-grade vinyl was used, and most of the titles were pressed by RCA/Victor and/or Warner-Pioneer corporations of Japan, both known for their near-obsessive attention paid to the fine sonic detail and audio craftsmanship); a special proprietary technology was used to achieve analogue-like, warm, translucent, radiant, vivid and all-encompassing sound. To this day, many of these recordings remain unsurpassed, delivering music reproduction as close to the actual recording session as possible, without any loss of musical information inherent in the standard practice of mastering from the inferior "production" copies. EVER SINCE THE MOBILE FIDELITY SOUND LABS TEMPORARILY CLOSED IN DECEMBER OF 1999 (ONLY TO REOPEN IN 2003), THESE RECORDINGS HAVE BEEN ESCALATING IN VALUE AND DEMAND. *********************************************************************************************** -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DAS AMERIKANISCHE LABEL MFSL(MOBILE FIDELITY SOUND LAB) HAT IN DEN ACHTZIGER JAHREN WOHL WELTWEIT DIE BESTEN SCHALLPLATTEN (LP`S) PRODUZIERT.....IMMER IN LIZENZ NUR VON DEN ORIGINAL MASTERBÄNDERN.....UND IM HALFSPEED VERFAHREN.....IN EINEM HOCHWERTIGEN MASTERING MIT DEM BEST MÖGLICHEN EQUIPMENT .....DIE PRESSUNG ERFOLGTE IN JAPAN AUF FEINSTEM VIRGIN VINYL(SUPER HIGH DEFINITION VINYL)......DAHER DER EINZIGARTIGE KLANG DIESER AUFNAHMEN......SOMIT AUCH TEURER ALS NORMALE LP PRESSUNGEN.......MFSL-LP´s SIND UNTER SAMMLERN UND MUSIKGENIESSERN WELTWEIT SEHR BEGEHRT UND SEHR GESUCHT.......!!........ALLE LP`s BEFINDEN SICH IN DEM MFSL EIGENEN HOCHWERTIGEN ANTISTATISCHEN INNERSLEEVE UND SIND DURCH DEN MFSL EIGENEN PAPPSCHUBER ALS VERSTÄRKUNG ZUM SCHUTZ DER LP`s AUSGESTATTET...!!..... **************************************************************************************************
